Director Dilemma: How Does Lucasfilm Bounce Back From Its Current Crisis?

September 8, 2017 by George Chrysostomou

George Chrusostomou on Lucasfilm’s director dilemma… With the recent news that Colin Trevorrow has exited Star Wars: Epiosde IX, it seems Lucasfilm may not have everything under control as much as we once thought. While we’re not at Prequel level of concern (and I’ll defend Revenge of the Sith till my throat is sore) it’s hard not […]

Have We Started To Settle For Mediocre Action Pieces?

August 24, 2017 by George Chrysostomou

George Chrysostomou asks whether we’ve started to settle for mediocre action pieces… The action film will forever be in its heyday, for conflict drives any narrative forward – especially when that conflict results in a showdown between two or more characters. Audiences will forever be drawn to the cinema to witness larger than life sequences, […]

The Cinematic Universe Fascination: A Bigger Picture Obsession

August 12, 2017 by admin

Tom Jolliffe on Hollywood’s fascination with the shared cinematic universe… Marketing, labelling, packaging. It’s everywhere. In cinematic terms it’s more important than ever. Everything is governed by men with clipboards. Or the modern equivalent. I suppose it’s all tablets now. I’m a cave dwelling Cro-Magnon man, so I wouldn’t know but there’s an inherent need […]

Critical Thinking: Don’t Believe the Hype

July 8, 2017 by Anghus Houvouras

Anghus Houvouras on hype and hyperbole… Hype is something every film writer constantly struggles with. The perpetual entertainment news cycle gives film fans so much to chew on. There’s a formulaic cycle of hype that happens with every new movie that strokes the cockles of film fans. Some movies come with preordained hype. A new […]

June 25, 2017 by Neil Calloway

Neil Calloway thinks the troubled Han Solo film proves Disney’s hearts aren’t in the right place… So, with the news that Phil Lord and Chris Miller have left the Han Solo movie, it’s time to ask if Disney really are the best people to move the Star Wars franchise forward. Of course, films run into […]

June 22, 2017 by Anghus Houvouras

Anghus Houvouras on the Han Solo director situation and a fight for the future of franchise films… I’m still in a state of utter disbelief over the disintegration that has happened between directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord and the creative conglomerate that handles the cinematic Star Wars universe. It’s an absolute gobstopper of a conversation […]

Lord and Miller: 12 other directors who left/got fired from movies during production

June 21, 2017 by Luke Owen

Luke Owen looks at directors who left/got fired from movies during production… With the shocking news that Phil Lord and Chris Miller have vacated the director’s chairs for the yet-to-be-titled Han Solo movie over “creative differences” (some sources say they were forced out), I thought it was time to look at some other directors who […]
